 Dear Lisap,
Peritonitis is a very severe condition. You would be very ill if you had peritonitis. If you don't have a fever, your appetite is good, there is no need to worry.
Abdominal pain is a condition that requires the patient to have a physical examination for proper diagnosis. Reason being the presence of many organs in the abdomen and the abdominal pain is the same in its characteristics in many instances.
If your abdominal pain is getting worse, i would recommend that you see your doctor for further advice.
Thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and i hope that this information helped.
Yasser Mokhtar, M.D.
